How to Access Test Results Broken Down by Demographic Sub-Groups
You can use the Breakdown By button at the upper-right corner of an assessment report (refer to Figure 23) to compare performance between different demographic sub-groups (refer to Icons). This button is available for most aggregate test results.
To view test results broken down by demographic sub-groups, do the following:
Click Breakdown By button at the upper-right corner (refer to Figure 23) (refer to Icons). The Breakdown Attributes window opens (refer to Figure 24).
Select up to three student demographic categories.
There is also an Include Unspecified Values checkbox, explained below:
Some students who complete tests do not have specific demographic information in the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE). These students are considered to have unspecified values.
To include data for these students, mark the checkbox.
Click Apply.
Data for each sub-group selected are displayed in the report (refer to Figure 25).
How to Access Test Results for a Particular Demographic Sub-Group or Combination
When accessing test results broken down by sub-groups, go to the row for the demographic combination you want to access and click the Access button in the View Details column on the left (refer to Figure 26) (refer to Icons).
A window opens, displaying detailed results for that combination. The report table is now laid out in the same way as the original report, before you accessed it broken down by sub-groups.
At the top of the report table are filter menus for each demographic category you chose. To change the demographic combination displayed, use the filters to select the demographic sub-groups you want to see and click Apply (for examples, refer to Figure 27 and Figure 28). The new combination is displayed.
You can use this window to get an in-depth look at specific groups of students. For example, you may want to determine which rosters have the highest-performing girls in the first grade.
